As a nurse veteran, this was an interesting article to read. Prisoners at Guantanamomo Bay have held hunger strikes for different reasons. I guess after a period of time, the military decided to force feed them.
They would be strapped into a chair and an NG tube would be inserted. Then they would be fed through the tube. Well, one nurse refused to do it. He faced discipline 8and a bad discharge, a loss of pension. He was no longer able to work as a nurse during the investigation. Those charges have been dropped. After all, how would it look if the navy dishonorably discharged a nurse for essentially torturing somebody.
I admire this nurses courage in a world gone crazy.
That's crazy! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow. I did not know about this. Really, unbelivable. Good thing that poor nurse was given another chance. Truly a courageous human being.
